So highlight the science - WMO 🔴Past 11 years have been 11 warmest on record 🔴Past 3 years (2023-2025) are the warmest years in all 8 datasets 🔴Consolidated 3 year avg 2023-2025 temperature is 1.48°C 🔴Temporary cooling by La Niña doesn't reverse long-term trend 🔴Ocean warming continues unabated

Just watched our Secretary of State laud the Scientific Revolution and deride climate science as a “cult,” almost in same breath. The distorting effect of fossil fuel’s corrupt influence is astounding, like a warped fun-house mirror.

“Humanity now faces perhaps the biggest choice it will ever make: continue down the road to a future devastated by climate change, dwindling nature, degraded land, and polluted air, land and water, or change direction to secure a healthy planet, healthy people and prosperity for all.” (UN Sept 2025)

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

As I say here, there is no scientific justification to revoke the engagement finding. In fact, over the last 15+ yrs, the evidence of how climate change affects our health has only grown. Higher risk of allergies, dementia, fertility, heart disease, and death: that’s what’s on the line. @nature.org

Instilling fear is essentially all the U.S. government is capable of now.

In a normal government, this results in the resignation of multiple cabinet officials (Transportation, Defense, and Homeland Security), and the closure or (at least!) radical reorg of the cartoonishly incompetent agency at the center of it: CBP. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/11/u...

The Trump administration is expected to rescind the 2009 “endangerment finding,” ending regulation of greenhouse gases from cars and trucks

This article that was going around the other day wasn't claiming that AI tools don't make workers more "productive" in some sense (they do self-report that they are getting more done!) but does suggest people end up working more while being less engaged & more stressed. hbr.org/2026/02/ai-d...

If time travel someday was even remotely feasible, would Hitler or Trump have ever existed?

Note to GOP fools: Ignoring reality doesn't make it go away.

The changing climate is causing or exacerbating global average temperature increases, heat waves, sea level rise, storm surge, and ocean acidification, and causing extreme weather events such as hurricanes, floods, wildfires, and drought to occur with greater frequency, intensity, or both. #science

It just becomes more screamingly obvious by the day that he is very deeply unwell

It’s frightening to me that so many for so long have planned this fascist take over of our government and were successful. They have plagued our airways with propaganda for decades and successfully radicalized half of this country. Wise up and rise up America.

"Eunice Foote was an amateur scientist from the mid-1800s whose experiments foreshadowed the discovery of Earth's greenhouse effect. Her experiments... revealed the ability of water vapor and carbonic acid gas (carbon dioxide) to raise temperature." #climatechange #science #history

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

As energy costs rise due to the rising energy use of AI, more and more ordinary people will likely die like this, and it’s inexcusable.

AOC & Sanders. That's how. They are the only ones on the federal stage who have the capacity to raise passion in the people. Nothing less than passion is what is needed now.

"Flawed economic models mean the accelerating impact of the #climatecrisis could lead to a global financial crash, experts warn. Recovery would be far harder than after the 2008 financial crash, they said, as “we can’t bail out the Earth like we did the banks”."

The energy transition is happening, faster than many realize. This week, I look at how clean energy is surging, where we can get it wrong, why silence on climate is spreading, and what we can do. Read the full edition for the data, the stories, and practical ways to keep the conversation going:

We need to get this right. The economic benefits from eliminating carbon pollution are huge.

Trump's ignorance, racism, greed, and profound lack of character have been well-known since 2015. In spite of a thousand deficits as a human being, he received 77,302,580 votes in 2024. ICE is part of his regime. Only sycophants loyal to a mentally ill wannabe mob boss are in authority now in 2026.

The First Amendment is a foundational promise to every American: Each of us has the freedom to speak, to report, and to hold those in power accountable without fear of retribution or retaliation.

Homeland Security dept was created in response to the 9/11 attacks, and there were fears then that it would lead to gov't overreach. It's time to shut it down. Even Conservatives have said so.| History and context in 5-links🧵 (Please share. We forget at our own peril.) time.com/6096903/sept...

To combat bird flu spread, other countries have authorized poultry vaccines. The U.S. hasn’t, amid political and economic pushback. Without a vaccine, experts say the virus poses an escalating threat: “The minute it transmits to humans, it’s done.” (Published Nov. 2025)

Trump is either leaving office peacefully, or he's going to be forcefully removed. The U.S. Armed Forces have a choice: Either support the American people and the constitution — or a fascist authoritarian regime that is a facsimile of Hitler's Third Reich.

Two hundred years from now, if humanity survives, people will still be discussing the damage done by one man.

The flagrantly fascist actions of the Trump White House have upended even the milquetoast logic of traditional Democratic acquiescence, writes @chrislehmann.bsky.social. The moral case for dismantling ICE is beyond dispute. https://bit.ly/3M35Gua
